Carly set smoothies down in front of them and set an extra one aside to take to Spencer.

"Ok, so what did you want to do?" Freddie asked.

Carly sat down. "Well, I was thinking about that time Sam asked people to send her money and we ended up with all those letters."

Sam looked away and nonchalantly sipped her smoothie.

Carly and Freddie both watched her.

"What?" she asked defensively. "I was poor."

They both rolled their eyes. "Anyways," Carly continued. "I was thinking that since our viewers were so willing to send in money that we could use iCarly to raise money for a charity. Something kid related. Like the Make A Wish Foundation or something. And I was thinking we could make it like a contest. Like whoever donates the most money could win an appearance on iCarly."

"I think that sounds great," Freddie replied.

"Sam?" Carly asked.

"Will it involve a lot of work on my part?"

Carly gave her a look of frustration. "No."

"Then I'm in."

"Cool. Freddie, would you be able to set up a account in case anyone wanted to donate that way?"

"Yeah, sure," he replied.

"Ok, sweet. We'll discuss the deets later. I told Spencer I'd get home to help him with his sculpture."

"What's he making?" Sam asked.

"Some cheese company saw his Mr. Toasty sculpture and asked him to make one for them. I think he's planning on using my head to shape a block of cheese."

"Cheese head. Delicious," Sam replied.

"Yeah, see you guys later," Carly replied and left.

An awkward silence lingered at the table. Then, simultaneously, they both said "I have to tell you something."

"You first," Freddie said.

Sam sighed. "Ok, so, um, I decided, I need to tell you that..." Before she could finish, Freddie blurted out, "I like you, too."

Sam looked stunned. "Uhhh..."

Freddie frowned. "That's not what you were going to say, was it?"

"Well, no. I wasn't going to say that. But..." Freddie perked up. "I like you too." She smiled. Freddie brightened. "You do?"

She blushed and slightly shrugged. "Yeah, I do."

"Oh," said Freddie, smiling. "So, what were you going to say?"

"Huh? Oh, right. I was going to tell you that I decided to go talk to someone about...about this," and she held up her wrists.

"Sam, that's great! That's a huge step."

"Yeah, but."

"What's wrong?"

"I don't wanna go by myself. Do you think you could come with me? At least for the first time?"

"Of course I will. I'll do anything if it helps."

"Thanks. Then can I ask you for another favor?"

"Yeah?"

"Can you help me tell Carly?"
